I got up several times during the evening feeling like I wanted to throw up.  I kind of think it may have been a mild case of food poisoning or something.  A good friend from Virginia was visiting so we took her out to eat.  I had the fish.  Maybe there was something wrong with it.

I was supposed to do a swim today, but when the alarm went off I was still feeling a little queazy.  I struggled with heading to the pool.  In the end, I decided to cancel the swim.  I was a bit bummed out with myself, but it was the right thing to do.  That is not something I normally do.  Last year I worked out when I had pneumonia just so I could stay on my P90X schedule… geez, what a dolt!  At my age I am supposed to know better.  It’s good to be driven, but I am not really training for anything special right now.

Around 10am I began to feel much better.  At that point all I could think about was getting a workout done.  So when I got home I did a 1 hour session on the bike and did a back workout.  Man, that was a long hour on the trainer.  I didn’t have anything good on the DVR so I watched some Fox News stuff.

Ok, soapbox time.  What is it that POTUS and his far left cronies in the House don’t understand?  Even the most objective polls show that more than half the country does not not agree with the 2700 page health care bill they are trying to shove down our throats.  This reconciliation process is a joke.  The far left loons in the House feel that a 51% majority overrides what more than half American public wants.  Where is the logic?  They are so out of touch with the citizens of this country.  You know it’s not so much that I disagree with their health care reform proposal (which I vehemently oppose), it’s the fact that they just plain don’t seem to give two sh!ts about what we, as a nation, think.  I am sick of them pushing their personal agendas on us.  Ok, that’s it for the health care thing.  Don’t even get me started on the all the money the Dems want to spend on their weak social agendas.  I will save my comments about their plan to bankrupt this country for another day.  Btw, anyone ready to label me as a mouthpiece for the GOP, save it.  I am a conservative Independent.  I have been a conservative Independent way before anyone thought about having a “Tea Party”.

Now back to the health and fitness world.  Check out these dumbbell windmills.  Actually, this guy uses kettlebells, but I have also seen this movement done with dumbbells.  Looks like an intense core exercise.  After you watch the video, imagine doing it for a Tabata session.
